Generation Basics

Overview​

Generation Basics explains how to control the results produced by the AI. These controls are organized into sections in the main panel and allow you to guide the style, content, and quality of your output.

Available controls may vary depending on the selected model.

Basic AI Settings​

This section contains the main controls used to create your image.

  • Prompt Describe what you want to create. Start simple, then add details to refine your result.

  • Presets Apply predefined styles to quickly explore different looks. Presets can be combined with your prompt. Effects may vary depending on your Text Guidance settings and the selected model.

  • Seed Controls variation in your results. Changing the seed produces different outputs, while keeping it the same helps reproduce a similar result. Useful when generating variations or comparing results.

    To generate multiple variations at once, enable Image Variants in AI Engine > Settings.

Advanced AI Settings​

This section provides more control over how the AI interprets your input.

  • Negative Prompt (if supported by the model) Describe what you want to avoid in the result.

  • Text Guidance (if supported by the model) Controls how strongly the result follows your prompt. Higher values follow the prompt more closely, while lower values allow more variation.

  • Steps Controls how much processing is used to generate the image. More steps can improve quality, but take more time.

Image Settings​

This section controls the size and shape of the generated image.

  • Choose image size or resolution
  • Select aspect ratio

Larger images may provide more detail but require more time and memory.

Style Reference​

Style Reference lets you use another image to guide the visual style of your generated result.

When enabled, Vector FX uses the reference image alongside your prompt to help influence the look and feel of the output. This can include the overall aesthetic direction, color palette, lighting, mood, texture, or artistic style.

Use Style Reference when you want to:

  • Create images with a look inspired by another image
  • Keep a more consistent visual direction across multiple generations
  • Combine your prompt with a specific style, mood, or visual treatment

Your prompt still defines what you want to create. The reference image helps guide how the result looks.

Style Reference is available with supported models.

Vector Settings​

Vector Settings provide vector editing controls and built-in tools for refining or preparing SVG output.

  • Detail Controls the level of detail preserved in the vector output. Higher values retain more fine detail.

  • Smoothing Controls how smooth the vector paths are. Higher values produce smoother curves.

  • Color Simplification Reduces the number of colors in the output. Options: None, Low, Mid, High. Useful for creating cleaner, more graphic results.

  • Shape Simplification Reduces complexity by simplifying shapes. Higher values produce simpler, more stylized results.

  • Corner Smoothing Controls how sharp or rounded corners appear in the vector output.

  • Path Coarseness Controls the granularity of vector paths. Higher values produce fewer, more generalized paths.

  • Smart Background Removal: Remove the background from the image.

  • Smart Crop: Automatically focus on the main subject.

Generate​

Click Generate to create or update your result.

  • Generation updates the current image
  • You can adjust settings and generate again to refine your result

Tips​

  • Start simple and refine your prompt gradually.
  • Use presets to explore styles quickly.
  • Use Style Reference when you want to guide the overall look using another image.
  • Adjust one setting at a time to understand its effect.
  • Duplicate images to compare how different settings affect results side by side.
  • Generate multiple times to improve your results.
